This week in worship, it is Stewardship Sunday, where Pastor David is spending time talking about generosity and gratitude. When we share what we have, we don't end up with less. We end up part of something that keeps growing. Stewardship often gets boiled down to money, but it's bigger than that. It's our time, our skills, our attention, and the way we show up for one another. Think of the people who set up chairs, bake for the potluck, tend the cemetery grounds, or just remember to say hello to someone new. That's all stewardship, and it's all part of the legacy we pass along.

This week in worship, Pastor David takes a look at the tension between grace, justice, and mercy. God's justice means that our lives and our choices matter. God's mercy means that our failures do not have to define us. And God's grace means that, even when we have fallen short, love keeps calling us toward a new beginning.

This week in worship, Pastor Dana takes a look at some Reformation history and the giants of the faith who have created the church we have today. The beautiful thing about our faith is that the people who shape us aren't always the ones whose names appear in the Bible or in history books. Sometimes they're parents, grandparents teachers, friends, or even strangers whose kindness or courage changed the direction of our lives. And sometimes, without realizing it, we become those people for someone else.

This week, Pastor David takes a look at the book of Ecclesiastes, where the author tells us there is a time and a purpose for everything. But the teaching doesn't stop with the famous verses, it goes on to ask "what is this all for?" What does all the work we do on earth get us in the long run? This is where we begin to look at our series on eternity.

This week in worship, Pastor David takes a dive into Revelation 21–22, which gives us a beautiful glimpse of God’s promise to make all things new. One day, there will be no more death, mourning, crying, or pain, and God will dwell fully among us. This is more than a promise of heaven, it is the restoration of creation and the healing of everything that is broken. Until that day, we live with hope, trusting that God is still at work and that the best is yet to come. God gets the final word, and that word is renewal, restoration, and life.

Last week in worship, Pastor David explored what the Bible says about heaven. This Sunday, he turns in the…other direction. What does the Bible say about hell? Many of us were raised with a cartoonish version that included lots of fire and little men with pitchforks. But what does the Bible actually say? Let's dig in.

This week in worship, our command is to "Forbear One Another." Forbearance means choosing patience and grace when people frustrate us, disappoint us, or see things differently than we do. Ephesians reminds us that humility, gentleness, and patience are not signs of weakness but are ways we live out Christ’s love. We are called to remember that others are works in progress, just as we are, and to make room for one another’s imperfections. When we bear with one another in love, we become a community where grace is stronger than our differences.

This week in worship, our command is to "Comfort One Another." In our hardest moments, God meets us with comfort, compassion, and love. As we receive that comfort, we are called to offer it to others who are hurting. We don’t need perfect words or solutions, just the ability to show up and remind someone they are not alone.
